Love, love, love the Hat Creek Retreat!!
Spent 3 wonderful days in Ron’s Hat Creek Retreat. Ron was a great host with lots of great local tips. Had originally planned to fish as I had read the fishing was great in the area. Due to winds we were not able to. However there is no shortage of beautiful country and things to do within an hour of here. Even if you never left the retreat you would have a great time! This property is very private and beautiful. The home has everything you need and fit 4 adults and one pup very comfortably. Wished we had a few more days! We will definitely be back!!!

A memorable stay for our family!
Came up for some family time away from the city bustle, and this place was great ❤️ beautiful views, well stocked, so much outdoor space for the kids to run and play with their little gifts (thanks again!). It rained the entire trip but we came prepared and was able to visit most of the sites we wanted to see and some snow play. Out of everything we did, relaxing at the cabin was the favorite for our little people 😄 Thank you Ron, and hope to visit for another stay!

Our recent stay at Hat Creek Retreat was superb. You can tell that Ron and his family put alot of thought into furnishing the home and they go the extra mile in anticipating guests needs and providing amenities. The property itself is expansive, beautiful, and in perfect proximity to Burney, Lassen, and all the local sights. We hope to return some day!

Beautiful slice of paradise!
Everything was 5 star, from the host communication prior to arrival and during if needed, to the cleanliness, to the location, amenities and more! Beautiful, spacious and secluded property, yet accessible and perfectly located within reach of the nearby town and many rivers. The attention to detail by Ron (host) in making it the perfect setup for any visitor is admirable. All you can think of and need is available and everything is clearly well maintained. The photos in the listing are spot on. It was an absolutely beautiful stay and we plan to go back! So glad we found such a gem! Highly recommend.

Perfect cozy cabin get away!
From start to finish this trip was amazing. Easy to book and involved host. The cabin was extremely clean with everything you could want or need. Host thought of everything even the items you may have forgotten. Cabin has all the modern tech and internet works as it should! Very close to Burney Falls and within driving distance to several other nature trails and falls. Beds are comfortable. We enjoyed camp fires around the fire pit and relaxing by the fire place after a long day of exploring. Kitchen is fully stocked. We could not have had a better time!
